An idyllic setting.Driving through the huge stone pillars supporting the great gates to Wrottesley Hall with the rolling manicured lawns of the golf course on either side and then on up the private drive and through a continuation of the rural landscape, past the glorious and looming expanse of rhododendrons which mark the front border of the property, one is immediately blown away by the magnificence of the setting.The benefit of an impressive and exclusive private estate location, without any of the accompanying responsibilities or expenses! And, unbelievably, barely 4 miles from Wolverhampton...
This wonderful conversion of an early Georgian coach house (the plaque at one end of the building makes claim to predating mid 1700) took place during the mid twentieth century. The estate was broken up when the 5th Baron of the Wrottesley family sold up in 1963 and moved to South Africa. The house and the carriage house were redeveloped as residential units and more recently the latter was divided into two outstanding individual properties of immense character and tremendous style and proportions. The grace and splendour of Wrottesley Hall which is a mere hundred yard away, with its historical stories and links with royalty, is evident in this, one of its ancillary buildings and under the same umbrella of imperious gentility this far from average barn conversion exudes a sense of refinement and elegance.Boasting a plethora of period features, including great oak beams and many fine examples of exposed trussed rafters supporting the superb vaulted ceilings upstairs, reclaimed stripped pine doors and shutters, period fireplaces (many individually exciting pieces in their own right) and having bespoke Georgian paned hardwood sash windows, deep skirtings and window sills, particularly high ceilings and loads of space, the dignity of this property’s origins prevails.
The Coach House is a Grade II Listed property which benefits from striking, formal elevations to both the front and rear being constructed of red brick over two storeys and having the appearance of traditional stone dressings, impressive sash and arched windows. The property is adorned with the original clock face and bell tower to the building with exposed clock mechanism (still working)a feature in the dining room. In its hey day, the carriage yard must certainly have conducted an orderly routine!
The handsome nature of the exterior is matched by the quality and ambience inside. There is a fine blend of both formal and informal reception areas coupled with ample bedroom provision to the upper floor. The accommodation is flexible in use with the option of an independent self-contained suite which is already established with a large double bedroom and shower room. All the rooms benefit from fabulous views through the many deep sash windows to the front and rear gardens.
The accommodation offered is extensive and versatile with both a gracious and a comfortable, welcoming ambience.
